Do you remember Nan, how cosey the motel room we stayed in was Your granddaughter, a lovely girl, was rolling outside on the grass Do you remember Marti, we thought you were just a guest arriving But it seemed your need was high, due to a long way driving Do you remember Denise, the aw's and oh's we yelled at the Raven You arranged this special tour and we weren't even misbehaven Do you remember Elizabeth, you showed me your heart's roots Driving us through the beauty, of the Pensylvania woods Do you remember Ruth, the time we spent at the Christmas shop Because Nan got hit by a car and she called in this cop Do you remember the few days when you had lost sight of me When I went to fulfil my wishes, and one was going fishing at sea Do you remember Marge, we hugged a man to get my luggage in your car You drove me home to Bill, who collects elephants and plays guitar Do you remember Marsha, Krissy, Kethry and Maureen, What lovely lunch we had and beautiful things at June's we've seen Do you remember the fun we made while swimming in the pool Me, always fighting with that stupid wandering cleaning tool Do you remember the coming of all poets, by one, by two, by four And still we wished, there could have been so many more Do you remember Bill's songs, in between the poet's reading Friday night Gifts exchanging hands and the appearance of Chipmunk, smiling bright Do you remember Maureen, when you made this delicious chicken food I ate a lot while making little rhymes, it brought me in the right mood Do you remember Krissy, how well you were driving around Keeping to the right lane you did, but often not the right road was found Do you remember Kethry, when you read this Aussi menu on Saturday You didn't recognize one thing that could be Australian in any way Do you remember Marsha, telling me I could feel at home, my dear Maybe you will never know, how at home I felt with all my friends from here Do you remember Pilgrim Nan, writing little witty poems that made me smile And when you saw the ocean, it took away your breath for a while Do you remember Seymour, the day you fixed the BBQ with Deer The way you two carried on, gave us no hope for long time I fear Do you remember Balladeer, I'm still smiling seeying you on that bed When all the springs popped loose and on the floor your rear end sat Do you remember Lyra, the agony of not knowing wich house to go Meeting you at last that night, made me feel so happy you know Fourteen must be my lucky number and will be for as long as I live Fourteen members of Ron's family, to whom knuffels and love I could give And I do remember Bill and David, Franny and Isabel, who came too Along with all the others I've met, friends and relatives of some of you I do remember when I sit here, looking at the pics I took of all friends overthere That hugging, embracing and exchanging hearts, were the greatest gifts we did share How on earth could I forget to put Ruth in here  Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (11-10-2002 07:31 PM).] |

Titia darling heart this brought such tears of joyful remembrances, the pictures that you are looking at and describing I can see them all. Each image crystal clear, each memory as fresh as if they happened yesterday. Truly this is an utterly utterly wonderful poem and I love it   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

I remember you, you were the one who held us all together. So many beautiful memories crammed into so short a time. We will definitely have to do it again - your place or mine? Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Well Titia, I sure wish I could have been there. I wanted so much to see you and everyone else. Then, I could have gottens some knuffles from you and everyone else. And, given some to all of you in return. I am glad you were able to go, and that you took some pictures. I enjoyed seeing all of those pictures. Sending you some knuffles anyway!  |

Reading this makes me kick myself, yet again, for the so few amount of pictures I have of myself and friends. For the thousandth time, I do hereby vow to take (AND develop) pictures of my friends, family, pets and everything else dear to me! *looks solemn* Gimme a month, I still won't have any. I'm hopeless, sometimes. Lacking any picture-memories of my own, I think I'll just re-read this poem and enjoy the memories and wamrth between souls that you inspire. Blessed Be! Stephanie True friends are not those who are with you at the end, but those who helped you through the journey. |

We had such fun! I love your pics, too. I've copied some out but they don't seem to print too well for me. But I've made myself a collage anyway and put it on the wall beside the collage you gave me of you and your mom and your home.  Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Titia, I want to thank you and the other PiP members who met, and brought to life the reality of the poets we meet through Passions. I also want to thank you all for sharing your pictures and poems of the times shared. This is what Ron's home is all about! |

Hi Titia, how much I loved meeting you and Nan. It was one of the highlights of my summer. And dear lady, this old gal spends most of her days with a 'high need.' Thank you again for the collage picture you gave me. It's above my bulletin board and I see you and your sheep and Dutch skies daily. Come back and visit again soon. Huggles, Marti |
